In Olomouc, a new shopping complex will open this year
Olomouc - A new shopping park is being planned in Olomouc, which is expected to open around the middle of this year in the former premises of the Moravian-Silesian Timberworks in the Bělidla district. The shopping complex will feature a Billa supermarket and several stores, as reported by ČTK on the project's website.
The first phase is set to have 11 stores with a total area of 5500 to 6000 m². In the next planned phase, the area of the stores in the shopping park will increase by an additional 4000 m², and the number of stores will rise by 12. The shopping area, including parking lots, will occupy 24,000 m².
There are already four large shopping centers operating in and around Olomouc. Most recently, in the autumn of the year before last, a large shopping complex called Galerie Šantovka was opened near the historic city center, housing approximately two hundred stores. With a retail space of 46,000 m², Galerie Šantovka is the largest shopping center in the Olomouc region and is among the ten largest centers in the country.
A year earlier, Galerie Moritz was opened in a renovated building of the former department store Prior, near Horní náměstí. Another shopping center, Olomouc City, with the Globus hypermarket, has been operating for several years next to the R35 highway, and a large shopping complex, Olympia, is operational between Olomouc and the village of Velký Týnec.
According to experts, retailers in Olomouc are beginning to feel cramped. Rostislav Veselý from the real estate consulting company Cushman & Wakefield (C&W) previously told ČTK that after the opening of Galerie Šantovka, the density of retail space increased to 1550 m² per thousand residents of Olomouc, which is approximately double the average in the whole country.
However, the investors of the Bělidla Shopping Park project claim that there will be enough customers, as there is currently no large shopping complex operating in this part of Olomouc. "It (the Bělidla Shopping Park) is located in an area that is not significantly far from the center and is also excellently accessible by means of transportation," they stated. The new shopping park will be opened at the exit to Šternberk, which is passed by approximately 18,000 cars daily.
